beadie Obit: Songs for Ronnie Reagan (29) Lyr Add: RONNIE'S BOYS (Chad Mitchell Trio) 08 Jun 04


On a reunion tour back in the eighties, the original Chad Mitchell Trio guys updated their 1964 ditty about Goldwater (Barry's Boys) to accommodate the current administration.

"Ronnie's Boys" used much of the same lyric with a few appropriate substitutions. Its available on a two-CD set.

Ronnie's Boys
(songwriter: June Reizner??)

Oh, we're the new kind of men,
we wanna go back to 1910,
We're Ronnie's boys.
We're the kids with a cause,
yes, a government like Grandmama's
We're Ronnie's boys.
We're the new kind of youth at your alma mater,
Back to silver standards and solid gold water,
Back to when the poor were poor and rich were rich,
And you felt so damn secure just knowing which were which.
We're the kids who agree to be
social without security,
We're Ronnie's boys.
He threw his hat in the ring
where Richard Nixon once was king,
now he's too left wing,
So if you don't want to trade with any old Red China,
or Canada, or Britain or North Carolina,
You too can join the crew,
Tippecanoe and Nancy, too,
back with Ronnie,
(he'll make you lots of money),
back with Ronnie's boys.
